when they played France in Toulouse in November 1978. Romania, Poland and Czechoslovakia are members of the Federation Internationale de Rugby Amateur, the governing body for those countries not in the IB." Post-Communism After the fall of Communism in 1989, Romanian rugby union suffered a dramatic financial shortfall. In 1995 the first ever Heineken Cup match took place in Romania with Toulouse taking on Farul Constanţa. Romania first got regular international competition when they joined the newly formed European Nations Cup in 2000. As an indication of the decline in standard of the sport in Romania, the national team was defeated 134-0 by England in 2001 and Dinamo Bucharest lost 151-0 to Saracens in the European Rugby Shield. București Rugby was formed to represent Romania in European club competitions in 2004. In recent years they have achieved respectable results, including a win in 2010 against an Italian super 10 side. Governing body Rugby union in Romania is administered by the Romanian Rugby Federation (FRR), which was founded in 1913 as Federațiunea Societăților de Sport din România (FSSR). National team The Romania national rugby union team, nicknamed The Oaks, has long been considered one of the stronger European teams outside the Six Nations tournament. It often takes part the Rugby World Cup, which is hosted every four years. Romania plays every year in the Rugby Europe Championship, a competition for second and third-tier European nations and have won the competition on three occasions (under the current format) in the 2000, 2001–2002 and 2005–2006 seasons. The Antim Cup is contested between Romania and Georgia. The cup is contested each time Georgia and Romania meet in a senior international match other than World Cup matches. Romania has won the cup on six occasions in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2010 and in 2017. Romania has played at every World Cup so far, except for the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan as it was disqualified and won at least one game at each World Cup, except for the 1995 and 2011 world cups where they lost all of its games. Domestic championship The CEC Bank SuperLiga, which has been contested since 2010 in its current format, is the main domestic championship of Romania which has actually been contested by many teams across Romania since 1914. During the communism-period in Romania, the Romanian Rugby Championship had been dominated by Steaua București and Dinamo București, although
